    The two lanterns on the outside are all steel, the center one is all brass/copper.
    They are as found, I only washed them down with warm soapy water.

    One of these is hard enough to come by let alone three. I do keep an eye out here in New Zealand but have not yet seen any. They look very well made. I see a mantle on one, how do they run?

    Nice set, @Marko57.

    Are they all the original glass they have on them?

    Hello David, they run great just like a Austamax

    It took me 25 years to find these 3. @Darryl Durdin has a nice line up of 6 of them.
    The greedy bugger has done very well finding them.

    Cheers Marko.

    Hello Tony, they are as found with the glasses in them.

    It's not untill you get them side by side do you see most of the parts are different to each other.

    Mine have 3 different hood nuts, Different Hoods, Glass surport plate, Casting from tank to burner,
    Control knobs, Gland nuts ever the skirt on the bottom of the tank.

    Darryl has 5 different control knobs on his 6 lanterns.

    Cheers Marko.
